GREENBURGH, N.Y. — It may feel like yesterday to some Ranger fans, but 25 years ago is a long time.
Six of the current Rangers weren’t born yet when the Rangers won the Stanley Cup in 1994, and two — Boo Nieves and Brady Skjei — were less than six months old when Mark Messier lifted the trophy in Madison Square Garden that night. So, when the Rangers celebrate the 25th anniversary of the 1994 Stanley Cup on Friday, a good chunk of their team won’t have any real connection to that moment.
Defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk will.
